My 5th year swimming to save lives
- This is my fifth year diving
- in for youth mental health
Suicide has impacted my life.
Growing up in regional Australia, I saw first hand the impact that suicide has on friends, families and communities.
We need funding to support young people, as suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia.
That means that each year more young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer.
This March, I'm swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.
By sponsoring my challenge, you’ll be helping to prevent youth suicide.
All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.
